Chubb was going nuts in the second half They needed a TD with 5 minutes left and couldn’t do it. If the Bills are down 5 in AFCC with five minutes to go, I’ll feel pretty confident. 1

Anyway, if it's some sort of neck injury I think it will hinder him a bit in the next game. Just having a stiff neck has hindered me in many different kinds of sports, and that was from sleeping weird, not having some athletic behemoth pulling on your head. Optics may be an issue. I can't remember who it was, but a few years ago a quarterback was visibly dazed and was sent back in. The coach claimed he didn't see it, and there was a huge uproar. I think it even prompted the NFL to use spotters to buzz down and have a guy taken out if he looks like that. Even if he passed all the preliminary tests, they may have...given what they saw on tape...decided he needed more testing...and rightly so. 1
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Word is that it's a pinched nerve. If I'm the Bills, I am preparing as if Mahomes is in there. 3

My wife found this video of a physiatrist explaining the classic concussion symptoms Pat displayed. Like, primitive reflexes, literally lizard-brain sh*t. Cool, but obviously also scary. 3 1

Success Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I was hoping yesterday would go differently. The Browns had such a real chance of pulling that off - but way too many mistakes. If I'm a Browns fan, that game is full of plays that would leave me w/ a "what if...." for years. And then the specter of Sir Thomas Brady, once again looming in wait for the Bills if we do advance. I'm in an odd position of rooting for a better team to win that game just so we don't have to hear all of the narratives and watch giddy Pats fans who think they "win" if Brady beats us. 4

RunTheBall Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 This is getting silly. Mahomes 100% suffered a significant concussion. He has a friggin fencing response after the hit with his left leg and arm extended. His head clearly contacts the ground and just because it doesn’t look like a mighty hit doesn’t mean his brain didn’t bounce off the inside of his skull. He did not lose blood flow to his head. Even if the defender’s arm is applying enough pressure to the neck to occlude the carotid, which is highly doubtful given it’s also on his shoulder pad, there’s a reason we have TWO carotid arteries and they communicate at the brain stem level so one side can supply blood flow to the other. Go ahead and press on one side of your neck. If you pass out go see a doctor quick. I have no doubt Mahomes will play. All this talk about “pinched nerve” or “loss of blood flow” is a smokescreen to the fact that they are going to push him through the concussion protocol whether or not he is ready. The only reason I’d spend some time preparing for Henne is because if Mahomes takes another shot to the dome he’s going to be out quick and for a much longer period of time. For his health I hope they sit him but they won’t and that second concussion that comes soon after the first is the one that does the most damage. For the record I’d love to play Mahomes at 100% health because you have to beat the best to be the best. 6 1 1

It's pretty clear that it was a concussion. He may have recovered quickly and can convince himself or his coaches / doctors / media that he's fine (and hopefully he is fine) but that man had scrambled brains immediately following that hit. 2

I think just moving back too quickly trying to get up and momentum made it look awkward. But good eye there! 1
